What Wired staffers bought this month

Lexar Media 64-Mbyte JumpDrive $30, www.lexarmedia.com
I love file-sharing. Even mundane stuff, like copying an office document to work on later at home. With my half-ounce JumpDrive, I just plug into a USB port and it's straight drag-and-drop. Quoth Lexar: It's "like having 44 floppies in your pocket." And you thought I was just happy to see you. - Dustin Goot

Bose FreeStyle Speaker System $399, www.bose.com
I'm ashamed to admit it, but I used to game with the sound coming out of the TV's speakers. D'oh! Bose's FreeStyle gives me Dolby 5.1 quality without a forest of little speakers to wire up. And since I use my Xbox as a DVD player, I get a great rumbly theater experience with movies. Finally. - Chris Anderson

Craig Maxwell

Steel Battalion $200, www.capcom.com
This Xbox mecha fighting game ships with a controller from hell: three foot pedals, two joysticks, and 40 buttons. My girlfriend doubted I could handle it, but now she's awed by my subtle mastery. The sequel goes online this fall, so gimme a holler if you ever need a good ass-kicking. - Ryan Vulk
